betty bought a bit of butterBetty returns to star in a famous but tricky tongue twister about a bit of bitter butter. This twists the brain almost as much as it does the tongue.

Betty bought a bit of butter but the bit of butter Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought a better bit of butter and the batter was better

And if you like twisters, find the rest of the series here.

    I like the tongue twister because I can listen to the oral.

    The version I know is: “Betty bought a bit of butter for her batter, but the bit of butter made her batter bitter. So Betty bought a bit of better butter for her bitter batter and the bit of better butter made her bitter batter better!

    LisaM - Well spotted, I’ve added in the missing “bit of” to the page.
